Random thoughts about all the things that interest me, irritate me, infuriate me, or delight me.

Saturday.

I had thought to take out the pathetic looking pot of melon plants which has (it seemed) produced nothing other that flowers. Recently it hasn't even done that. However, I have to rethink that. I found one small, lonely melon developing. I don't know if it will have either the time or the will to develop fully but I will give it the chance. I am cutting back the borage also. It has stopped blooming and is now dropping seeds. I have already collected about 30 for next year. I expect I will get a a number of volunteer plants next spring. I should also take off the hyssop blooms that are mostly spent so I don't get volunteers next spring. I want to move that patch away from the rose.

Sunday.

Didn't do much more than cut back the borage yesterday. I got very lazy. It happens every now and then. But in the process I collected a lot more seeds. I don't know what I will get done today. The sun isn't up yet and I am simply enjoying my morning coffee.

Monday.

Collected a nice little basket of peppers and tomatoes yesterday. I plan to get the peppers cleaned and packaged for freezing today. I saw the first fully open cypress vine flower also. The hummingbirds will be happy. We have dense fog this morning but I don't think we got any rain the weather people said we might get overnight.

About Me

I enjoy needlework of all kinds; especially hand embroidery, quilting, and crochet. I have recently taken up container gardening and tatting. Interested in politics though that subject is most likely to irritate me. Curious about almost anything and an eclectic reader. I especially enjoy science fiction, mystery, history, and current events.

My Liberal Identity:

You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.
